How Mindfulness Can Help With Anxiety
Samharris: Let's take anxiety as a classically negative emotion that people find mindfulness can be very helpful with. He says it's possible to feel the anxiety, just feel the mirror physiology of the butterflies in your chest. And you can notice that consciousness is just this open space in which everything thoughts and sensations are appearing all by themselves. Samharris: The moment you shift to that openness and just mirror awareness, they lose their psychological implications. Anxious feelings no longer have any meaning than indigestion or itching on your skin.
